I'm gonna have to disagree with techrep. That seems WAY overpriced. For $4500 I could pick up a 4x4 diesel. Pending on condition, and whether or not its 4x4, extended cab, etc... I could see it being worth MAYBE $2500. But it all comes down to what its worth to you, in the end.

$4500 seems too high to me as well. I just bought a '93 auto ext. cab 4x4 with the 5.0 for $1700. Mine had more miles on it (197k). I agree with the $2500 statement.. maybe $3k if it doesn't need anything (good tires, good engine/tranny)

Its a 2WD don't need 4wheel down here in Florida, I would never use it, I can probabaly get it for 3800.00 or 4000.00 it needs nothing, I would say its a 9 out of 10. What tranny came in that year, its a auto

if its drop dead perfect that's a $3k truck in Ohio. 4x4 would make it about $3500, but I don't know the Florida market for trucks.

You want a MAF engine!!!!......you just don't know it yet. You'll have to bump up a year or two, but you can get one for $4500. It's still a buyers market, & will be for some time. Take your time, but make sure it's MAF! At 93'-94' your right on the cusp of a major engine improvement, which also includes sequentially fired injection!
MAF!!
Everybody's heard "Once you go MAF, you never go back!" (Before the brotha's ripped it off)

most people will work with the price a little at least. i bought my bronco for 3500$ in alaska. see what other trucks similar are going for, if its about the same, its a fair deal
